Vous travaillez à domicile en tant que professionnel de l’UED. Comment éviter l’épuisement professionnel et rester productif ?

Work-life balance is essential for anyone to stay productive and motivated, and especially for the UED professionals, only if you're clear with your priorities, you would be able to be "creatively productive" to meet your client expectations and project needs.

Start by defining set working hours and sticking to them, allowing for dedicated time both for work and personal pursuits. Communicate openly with clients about expectations and deadlines, setting realistic timelines that prioritize quality and user-centricity. Additionally, prioritize self-care by taking regular breaks, staying active, and nurturing hobbies outside of work. How might we recharge our creative batteries and stay inspired amidst demanding projects? By fostering a supportive network of colleagues and peers, we can share insights, collaborate effectively, and navigate challenges together.

Don't go straight from bed to the workplace. Instead, start with meditation after waking up, followed by a morning run, a hot and cold shower, breakfast, and your daily vitamins. This routine will prepare you for the day ahead. Alternatively, you can customize your morning routine to suit your preferences. Then, consider going to the gym after the workday.

Concordo. O tempo precisa ser determinado e cumprido, para isso é preciso que seja dividido de forma que todas as áreas da vida não saiam prejudicadas. A organização do tempo à realidade e a constância do trabalho, é essencial para a realização de um trabalho de qualidade e a qualidade vida.

Always make sure to establish your working hours and communicate that to everyone you will be working with. Also, ensure that you are aligned with the client on the timeline, which must be realistic and keep to your end of the bargain. In case of unforeseen delays, ensure to communicate swiftly and apologize as well. Take time to time-block your calendars and add times for breaks as well.

You can use the Pomodoro technique. Once after 60 minutes of work, you will take a 10 minute break. In this way, you will avoid overload and you will stay focused on the things that matter.

Breaks are essential to prevent getting burnt out quickly. You are not a machine, and even machines deserve to take breaks, too.

I love taking breaks every hour. When I quit smoking, I found these pauses to be essential. Even now, I find myself needing a break from time to time to shift focus, so I take a 5-15 minute rest. Afterward, I feel refreshed.

As a professional UED, you will always have new things to learn. It is important to stay up to date with all the trends in the industry, the new technologies, as well as to make it a habit.

Learning is a way of life, as a UED professional, it is important to keep innovating and being in-line with latest design and industry trends. Take inspirations and stay motivated.

Set a goal to educate yourself daily, and you'll thank yourself later. I track my daily learning progress using a habit tracker. Whether I read a book, listen to an audiobook, or watch a course, I mark the day as 'YES' in terms of education.

Anything accomplished should be celebrated. The world was conquered with small steps. A small step for you can represent a giant step for the user. It divides the work into simple steps, to be easier to monitor, especially to have a real graph of the evolution.

This is helpful to do to continually remain supercharged and productive. It can be as little as completing a short user and rewarding yourself with an episode of your favourite series.

We sit all day. Let’s not create problems for ourselves. We need to move as much as possible before work, during lunch, and after work to live longer and work more effectively. So don’t make excuses; go for a run or hit the gym. The last thing I strongly recommend is to swim at least 1 kilometer or mile per week.
